It hasn't come back in about 2 weeks or so. I don't think there is an increased risk of gallbladder rupture since there are no stones, and if I take the Actigall that should help prevent stones being formed. Around here, a lap gallbladder surgery is an overnight hospital stay. It's true that it isn't as big a surgery as WLS or the TT would be, but it still means I will have to undergo general anesthesia 2 more times if I have the TT (I have an awake intubation because of my anatomy and it is NO fun!)and also have to consider the amount of time I will be off from work for 2 more surgeries. The plastic surgeon did say that it may be possible to remove the gallbladder at the same time as the TT! We'll see!! Thanks for your input!! Natalie The pain I had is gone.

If the gallbladder is causing you pain, then it seems that removing it would be the thing to do. I don't know if there's an increased risk of gallstones or ruptured gallbladder in your situation, but it would be worth looking into. And having your gallbladder removed is usually done laporascopically as a same day surgery - nothing near as severe as WLS or a TT. I'm not a medical professional, but I have had my gallbladder out - it wasn't bad at all. Good luck to you. Pam Pre-op Open RNY - 12/18/02 Are you still having terrible pain?
